Coral Reef Seared Mahi Mahi?

The word “seared” scares me...is it fully cooked? I don’t like the fish to still have the ability to swim while on my plate...I like to make sure it is fully dead.

They will cook it however you like. Just let them know.

I like the Mahi Mahi there and I tend to keep about 90% kosher. Just tell them they have always worked with me.

I had the Mahi Mahi at the Coral Reef in December. Though the menu describes it as “Seared,” mine was indeed fully cooked (but not over cooked). I will say that I found the dish surprisingly bland considering that the menu says “jerk seasonings.” It was all right but not outstanding, but that didn’t stop me from eating every bite, lol.

I'm no Bobby Flay, but I think seared is a method of getting something a bit crispy or brown on the outside, the inside would be cooked to whatever degree is recommended. I do a chicken dish that is seared briefly in a pan with hot oil, then cooks in the oven to finish it. Enjoy!

I don't know if it applies on the mainland, but here in Hawaii mahi is always cooked through. Usually if you order a seared Mahi it will have a pan fried crust.
Seared ahi gets you the same unless it reads sashimi grade ahi, which will be served raw inside with a seared exterior.

We ate there a few years ago, and I asked them to blacken mine (Cajun seasoning) - it was cooked all the way through, but not over cooked, and very good.

1) Yes, it is fully cooked.
2) But, for those aficionados, "seared' is not "blackened".
. . . seared is just a flash-frying on the surface to lightly caramelize and then cook throughout
. . . if compared to beef, the inside would be medium-rare
